Cyclones



Australia has taken a lot of weight on its shoulders this last couple of weeks. To the east it was category 5 cyclone Larry and the devastation of parts of North Queensland and to the west now, category 4 cyclone Glenda which dumped 150mm of rain on Dampier amongst other things. Do we want to live the this ? No. As usual they are the biggest and the best since whenever...and meanwhile lives are lost, land is destroyed, crops and animals are damaged and people, decent ordinary people are getting in there and managing the chaos. People are putting up with a lot and they are getting in there and doing what has to be done. Somehow we need to stop the chaos. Cyclones we have always had but everywhere you look on the planet it's like a 3 year old having a tantrum. We build it and then the hissy fit and the little hands and legs just smack it all down... just like with the building blocks and Lego.
